XP with SP2, 512mb Ram Nvidia Geforce 4280 64Mb Athlon XP 1800 or Sempron @2500 I cant get it to work. I am especially interested in the new UT3 Editor. Anyone knows whether this config might work to only run the Editor? thx

The UT3 specs call for a GeForce6xxx if I recall correctly and getting one of those should enable you to run UT3. Have you considered upgrading your gfx-card and getting more ram? I think you will get along way with a few bucks - especially if you go 2nd hand (I can see a new Geforce6200 cost around $50 here in Denmark and they should be cheaper almost anywhere else). Kind regards Bruno

It will bottleneck there. UT is a very taxing game on your CPU. Upgrading there will help more than anything.

In the earlier times i could get UT work when i downgraded the graphics or physics, but now it seems to that it wont work cause i even cant start it. huh, very frustrating, cause i got no money to upgrade my machine. Very sad this something. - I love this game. This would make about 300 Euros to get a medium Machine to have it even working. Huh- enough for a favorite game and too much for me now. I gotta wait another year. Greetz & THX

Upgrading will not make you machine into a new one but your hardware is old enough that replacing the CPU and graphics card could be done for very little money while it will still provide a pretty good boost in performance. Like a mentioned in my earlier post a new graphics card could turn out to be less than the game itself and the same thing actually goes for the CPU. Kind regards Bruno

Hi, thx for your reply. As i posted before: GForce 4280 equal to 4200 with 64Mb. Athlon Sempron 2500 (or on other machine XP1800) OS: winXP uptodate... with 500Mb Ram. I tried it with an Ati Card with 128 MB, sorry, dunno which one, but seemed to be to weak.- didnt work. > > Upgrading will not make you machine into a new one but your hardware is > old enough that replacing the CPU and graphics card could be done for > very little money while it will still provide a pretty good boost in > performance.

Huh, thats my prob. gotta earn money to get a machine to get this thing running. sadly. nore, i am upset, cause when i bought 2k3 or 2k4, i could play it. i just downgraded physics or graphics, but i could play it and it made fun. Now i am ordered to upgrade my hardstuff... Happy Fragging...

Read UT3 box for minimum requirement. JS
